IMO not even most textures need updated but some -really- do. Simply offering updates on very specific items would, imo, greatly improve the situation. Of course huge textures on everything, for machines that can handle it, would be even prettier but I feel the value to result is really high on some items and fairly low on others. I would not say no to everything being 4k (for those that can use it), but I'd not be excited to lose a lot of content so the thing that already looked pretty good looks only 5% better. Meanwhile they've certain textures that are quite pixelated in game, which they could narrow down on and cut opportunity costs (especially if they are going to make another MMO to live along side this one, not saying now- speaking in the future, but these things take, and should take, many years to make too which means they might be in talks about it now or even some base level stuff).
....its common practice to make textures big to begin with then downscale them for implementation. you know, in case this happens. its actually harder to work on small pixel canvases.
